Proceeding contribution from Andrew Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform Green Paper.
Welfare Reform Green Paper
I thank my right hon. Friend for his kind remarks a few moments ago. I welcome the measured way in which he has brought forward this statement. In particular, I welcome the extension that he has announced of the successful pathways to work programme to the whole country. Does he agree that availability of good-quality rehabilitation and a continuing drive against discrimination in the workplace are crucial for the confidence of benefit recipients and for the prospects of success in helping more of them into jobs? Can he tell the House a bit more about rehabilitation and other support services that will reassure people that this is about helping them forward?
